5.4 Build 449.4: Info on update released March 13, 2001

This AUP is a minor revision mostly in the e-mail system. It contains fixes in wcSMTP, wcMail and wcListServe. wcStart has been improved and includes new features.

********COMING SOON! Wildcat! News Server!*********

There is a new checkbox option in the Mail Conference Settings called Publish as Local Newsgroup . Ignore this checkbox option for now. It will be used for the new product called Wildcat! News Server which is currently under beta-testing. The Wildcat! News Server will be a free add-on product to all customers currently subscribed under the AUP.

wcConfig

New options in Mail Conferences Setup:

General Tab: Conference Mail Policy:
Days to Keep External User Mail (days) (Detail)
Settings Tab: Toggle Settings, 1 new option
[ ] Publish as Local Newsgroup

Description:
Ignore this checkbox option for now. It will be used for the new product called "Wildcat! News Server" which is currently under beta-testing. The Wildcat! News Server will be a free add-on product to all customers currently subscribed under the AUP.

wcFTP

Fixed idle time out problem where it was not disconnecting the socket connection (dropping the idle FTP user).

wcSMTP

Fixed a mite where E-mail headers were using tabs as RFC header field delimiter and wildcat was not seeing it. This might address some situations where expected mail with attachments is imported without attachments.
Added a Server Up Event to support the new wcStart optional Up Event signal watcher. The Up Event string is: "Wildcat.SmtpUpEvent". Please note that this is case sensitive and must be spelled like this when used in wcStart for launching wcSMTP.
Fixed some RFC date formatting mites (carried over to wc6 as well).
Added logic to improve the server E-mail packing process for systems with large amounts of non-local user outbound messages.
Fixed a problem where the optional MAPS RBL host site was not honored by wcSMTP.
Added a new command line switch option to disable or enable the RFC recommendation of trying atleast once a bad E-mail address or one which does not have a MX record (mail exchange post office). (Detail)

wcMail

Fixed a mite where E-mail headers were using tabs as RFC header field delimiter and wildcat was not seeing it. This might address some situations where expected mail with attachments is imported without attachments.

wcStart

The menu Add wcOnline option was removed and replaced with a more generic system of adding applications to the starting logic. A text file called startapp.txt is now available which will provide some examples of basic (and ideal) startup order for common Wildcat applications. 3rd party applications can add their own section to this file to support customers wanting to add their start logic to wcStart.
New options for each process properties. (Detail)

wcNews

Made it so that /host does not use the wcnews.cfg info (ie. authinfo stuff)
Added new command line switches. (Detail)

wcListServe

Fixed RFC Received line date problem in exporting of mail.
Improved the logging of wcListServe operations. New option to use Daily Logging (default is TRUE). To turn off, use the /dlog- command line option. (More about command line options)
There were problems with running wcListServe and setup at the same time. We are aware of the database sharing problems and we plan to make it possible to use setup at the same time. However, in the mean time, there were problems when people didn't realize this. So this version will not allow either program to run at the same time. It will display a popup message. Once again, this is a temporary solution to prevent people from running setup while wcListServe is running. We will have a true database solution in the near future.
Added a Server Up Event to support the new wcStart optional Up Event signal watcher. The Up Event string is: "Wildcat.ListServeUpEvent".
Please note that this is case sensitive and must be spelled like this when used in wcStart for launching wcListServe.
When deleting a list with wcListServe Setup.exe, the members were not deleted. Now, they are deleted when you delete a list.
Added a Digest Age option to Digest List forums. (Detail)
